So do yourself a favor and crack open one (or both) of these bottles while watching Roger Rabbit to fully enjoy them. Four more barrel samples were rolled out to give us a total of eight to choose from! And thus, Shifty Eyes and Andy Devine were born. Just as this standoff couldn’t get any weirder, we made an off-handed Roger Rabbit joke and the brand relented. Well they rolled out their normal four and only one was worthy of being selected for the club.so we demanded MORE! An eerie silence set in, and now this part will forever be in distillery lore, but a tumbleweed blew across the table. You see, normally Bulleit will roll our four barrel samples and that's what you get to pick from. For the stickers, we based them on a riff of the brand name and also our experience with the pick.
Tasting side by side, their contrasting flavor profiles are dynamic and complement one another nicely. This barrel contained richer spice flavors and will please anyone looking for a spicier bourbon, most likely due to its higher rye content.

The 10 year old barrel contained barrel code B and also came from yeast strain #3. This was the barrel we found to be sweeter, most likely being due to the lower rye grain percentage in the mashbill. The 11 year old barrel chosen had barrel code E and yeast strain #3 which the company describes as being more strawberry fruit. The resulting picks turned out to be exactly that, with one being more sweet and one being more spicy. This would allow us to hopefully find two contrasting flavor profiles, and also allow us to have enough for club members to enjoy. Going into the tasting we knew we wanted to walk away with two bourbon barrel picks. Add in a little mystery as to where the bourbon is actually sourced from, and you have all the ingredients to make for a fantastic barrel pick. The Diageo owned company is well known for their distinctive bottle design and is often a staple in bars across the country. Bulleit Bourbon has been regarded for years as a solid value bourbon by many. Additionally, Keg N Bottle offers national delivery of every single item from their massive selection. Keg N Bottle is known for strategically engineered “Liquor Walls” and “Beer Caves.” They carry every different type of liquor imaginable, a wine for every occasion, 1,500 different beers to make you “hoppy,” and over 1,250 different kegs to choose from. A California retailer, Keg N Bottle was established in 1981 and has been in business for over 30 years. Bottled at Stitzel-Weller in Louisville, Ky., this new offering allows bartenders and fans of great whiskey the opportunity to taste Bulleit Bourbon.
For this double-header pick we partnered with Keg N Bottle out of California. The barrels selected to create Bulleit Barrel Strength were emptied and combined into a single batch without the inclusion of any additional water after the whiskey was removed from the barrels.
